      It says tell the Jury to convict tRump. Isn't this trying to influence the jury and could cause a mistrial? Nobody should be telling the jury to do anything. Hopefully they decide to convict, but that's their decision and not our place to tell them.

      Agreed. The funny thing is that the people who tried to kick him out will still be sitting in the TN legislature when the Justins are being called to serve on the national level. These outstanding young men are now known throughout the country. They will be involved with someone's campaign and get the exposure to run for higher office, work as a communications person for the president, or be picked for a government position. These two names will now be heard often in this country.
